Question: (a) Kiran purchases an article for Rs. 5,400 which includes 10% rebate on the marked price and 20% sales tax on the remaining price. Find the marked price of the article.
Answer: 5000.00
Explanation: Let the marked price of the article = Rs. x
Price after rebate =
90

100
× x = Rs. ( 9x

10
) (½)
Price after sales tax = 120

100
× 9x

10
= Rs. ( 27x

25
) (½)

By the given condition,
27x

25
= 5400 (1)

x = 5000
∴ The marked price of the article = Rs. 5000.00 (1)

Question:
(b) If
3x + 5y

3x − 5y
= 7

3
, find x : y.

(Leave no spaces around the : (colon) symbol.)
Answer: 25:6
Explanation:
3x + 5y

3x − 5y
= 7

3

By Componendo and Dividendo, (½)
3x + 5y + 3x − 5y

3x + 5y − 3x + 5y
= 7 + 3

7 − 3
(1)
6x

10y
= 10

4
(½)
x

y
= 25

6

x : y = 25 : 6 (1)

Alternative method:
9x + 15y = 21x − 35y (1)
−12x = −50y (½)
6x = 25y (½)
x

y
= 25

6
x : y = 25 : 6 (1)

Question: (c) A person invests Rs. 10,000 for two years at a certain rate of interest compounded annually. At the end of one year this sum amounts to Rs. 11,200. Calculate :-
(i) the rate of interest per annum.
(ii) the amount at the end of the second year.
(Type in the answers separated by commas. Leave no spaces around the commas.)
Answer: 12,12544.00
Explanation: (i) I = AP = 11200 − 10000 = Rs. 1200
I = PRT

100
R = 100I

PT
(½) = 100 × 1200

10000 × 1
(½) = 12% (1)

(ii) A = P ( 1 +
r

100
) n (½) = 10000 ( 1 +
12

100
) 2 = 10000 × 28

25
× 28

25
(½) = Rs. 12544.00 (1)
Formula for simple interest: I = PRT

100
, where I = Simple interest, P = Principal, R = Rate and T = Time.
Formula for compound interest: A = P ( 1 +
r

100
) n , where A = Amount, P = Principal, r = Rate and n = Time.
